本文将个人论文与旅行写作的元素结合起来,地理学家对旅行写作表达了新的兴趣。它不是通过心灵的沉思,而是通过生活的肉体经验来构建,它既反映了田野工作的不适,也反映了心灵反应时的身体兴奋时刻,产生了新想法或见解的顿悟。本文讲述了两名研究人员穿越墨西哥不安全地区的故事,试图了解北美自由贸易协定 (NAFTA) 如何影响墨西哥养牛业及其对森林生物群落的影响。土地覆盖变化数据显示墨西哥森林砍伐率下降,作者推测北美自由贸易协定新自由主义改革带来的农业集约化是造成这一现象的原因。这篇文章从库利亚坎(锡那罗亚贩毒集团所在地)的公路旅行开始,结束于恰帕斯州,那里的萨帕塔分子于 1994 年反抗北美自由贸易协定。在危地马拉边境,他们证实了来自中美洲的约 140 万头走私小牛不受控制地流向墨西哥饲养场。作者估计,生产如此数量动物的牛群需要多达 100,000 平方公里的牧场,这些牧场大概是在大部分森林覆盖的土地上形成的。因此,墨西哥的森林砍伐可能正在减少,但这只是因为北美自由贸易协定后的牛肉供应链已将其转移到其他地方。作者拒绝了他们关于农业集约化的假设。文章最后对墨西哥的企业和犯罪组织融入卡特尔经济进行了猜测。
This article combines elements of a personal essay with travel writing, in which geographers have expressed renewed interest. Constructed not through contemplations of the mind but from lived corporeal experience, it reflects both fieldwork discomforts and moments of somatic exhilaration when the mind reacts, producing the epiphany of a new idea or insight. The article follows two researchers who travel through insecure parts of Mexico in an effort to understand how the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has affected the Mexican cattle sector and implications for its forest biomes. Land cover change data show a decline in Mexico’s deforestation rate, and the authors hypothesize that agricultural intensification enabled by the neoliberal reforms of NAFTA are responsible. The article starts with a road trip from Culiacán—home of the Sinaloa cartel—and ends in Chiapas, where the Zapatistas rebelled against NAFTA in 1994. At the Guatemalan border they confirm the unchecked flow of about 1.4 million contraband calves from Central America, on their way to Mexican feedlots. The authors estimate that the herd producing this number of animals would require as much as 100,000 km2of pasture, presumably formed on mostly forested lands. Thus, deforestation in Mexico might be on the decline but only because its post-NAFTA beef supply chain has displaced it elsewhere. The authors reject their hypothesis about agricultural intensification. The article concludes with a speculation about the melding of Mexico’s corporate and criminal organizations into a cartel economy.
